  If you are overpaid clap your hands. If you are overpaid and you know it clap your hands. If you are overpaid and you know and you really want to show it, then don’t worry, you don’t have to because everyone already knows you are.

Here are the top 5 most overpaid job occupations:

1. Mutual Fund Manager

A lot of these guys go to college, get an easy worthless degree that took little effort, probably in economics or finance, and then they graduate without learning much. They typically come from a family with wealth, or a family that owns a business. They get hired into a good investment firm because they already have one large account: their parents. They don’t even have to fill out a complete resume. All they have to do is put “My family has money” on the resume and they are in. Once they are in, they might do a little passive selling, and rest is cake to pick up a few more clients. They sit back and then collect a commission every year regardless of their performance. Plan on making up near seven figures in this profession….if you got the connections that is.

2. Corporate Middle Management

To be a mid level manager at a corporation, it is a requirement to be an idiot and a sociopath. Your job is to sit in an office and pretend that you are busy by staring at your inbox. Every once in a while, if you decide to talk to the employees working for you, you just go around and ask them when they are going to be done with their projects and if they could have it done tomorrow. You then go attend meetings. You get your pen and planner out, put on your wire framed glasses, and pretend to take notes. Plan on making $100K + in this profession. You don’t need to retain anything from your worthless easy college education, and all you need to prepare for the job every day is a bottle of Scope. Because every middle level manager I’ve ever known has breath that smells like crap. And oh, you need to walk around like a shivering noodle afraid that you are going to get fired or you won’t get your bonus pay if one of the employees working for you so much as even thinks about making a mistake.

3. Pharmaceutical Sales Rep.

This isn’t really a sales job. It’s more like a sample provider and food delivery service. Basically, you just drive around to doctor’s offices and say hi to them. You drop off drug samples and then leave. A lot of the times, you might also have to bring a catered lunch with you to serve his staff so he will allow you into his office to say hi to him and drop off samples. Plan on making near $100K in this job, and you get a free car.

4. UPS Driver

I actually know some people in this field. There isn’t much to be said for it because there are only so many ways you can carry a package. Your job is to drive a truck around and drop off packages. The down side is that you will typically work a few more hours extra every day overtime. But plan on making $60K - $85K in this field if you get the overtime pay. Not a bad deal at all. A driver’s license and a 2nd grade education is all that is required.

5. High School Gym Teacher

They should just remove any gym class from the school curriculum to shorten the day. All you have to do to get this job is attend college and get a physical education degree. You will have to take classes such as “outdoor camping” and “lifetime fitness”. That’s as tough as it gets. You graduate, and then you get a job at a high school making as much money as the rest of the teachers. No thinking is required. All you need to be able to do is throw a ball out and let the kids play. You get summers off, and a spring break. If you really want to branch out and expand your business, you can own one of the pop machines near the gym. Plan on making only about $10K - $20K less than an electrical engineer. Not bad at all. And if you get a summer job, or a little business on the side since you have so much time, then you’ll make more than an electrical engineer. This job is as stress free as it gets. And being that you will be working for the government, it’s impossible to get fired. So there is plenty of job security in this field as well. Completely immune to recessions.
